Your Photography Session

Thank you so much for choosing me to be your family photographer :-)

I am really excited to take some beautiful photographs of you and your family.

In this guide you will find all the details of what to expect, both from our session together and from the delivery of your images afterwards, but if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Your family session will begin with me getting to know everyone, your interests, and your unique personalities so we can capture your unique story. I will send you a questionnaire to complete prior to the session, this just gives me all the details I need to get the most from our session together and also helps me focus the time we have on capturing the photos you will love.

My style of photography is very relaxed, candid and natural, as I feel the best images are taken when your family is less aware of the camera. It will be such a fun session as I watch you all play together and capture your family’s story. But we of course, will get some more formal portraits for you as well.

I will help you during the session, suggesting natural poses and games we can play together so that we can create the most natural and beautiful photographs for you all that you will treasure forever.

Your Outfit..

Start with your outfit first, as its much easier

to coordinate the other outfits around

this choice.

The most important thing is to choose an outfit that makes you feel beautiful.

Dresses and skirts are always lovely for photography as the movement of the material creates some gorgeous photos when you twirl or the wind blows.

Choose some nice accessories that make you feel amazing such as earrings, rings

and necklaces and a hat is always a great

option too.

Don't worry about shoes, barefoot is almost always best for beach sessions.

Kids Outfits...

Using the colours of this outfit, then

organise your child/children’s outfits, pull

some colours f rom your outfit, to use in the

children’s outfits, so that they compliment

each other.

I recommend avoiding any logo T-shirt or T-shirt with crazy patterns as we want the focus to be on your children’s lovely faces , their expressions and their amazing eyes, so we don’t want to draw the focus away from their faces into a bold patterned shirt.

Logos also date the photos and I want the photos to be timeless for you.

If you have younger kids wearing dresses and nappies, its great to have a ‘nappy cover’ over the nappy so that we don’t get any photos of the nappy in show.

Make sure your children are comfortable to run around and move and have a couple of layers in case they get cold as we want to ensure they feel happy.

Other Outfits...

Then move onto any other outfits. If you

have a partner a simple white t-shirt or

shirts & chinos or neutral, navy, brown shorts

is always an easy option.

I usually recommend not having everyone match each other, it always looks amazing when the outfits complement each other, rather than entirely match, but its such a personal preference, please do what's right for you.

If you are looking for a maternity dress to

hire I can also recommend Mama Rentals

for beautiful dress hire.

I also have a small collection of maternity dresses you can borrow from my client wardrobe.
